We discuss the second Test between India and England in Chennai

Talking Points:

  • Was there anything wrong with the pitch?
  • How Rohit Sharma tackled the tricky surface
  • England’s rotation policy – and would they have followed this during the Ashes?
  • R Ashwin’s glorious home Test in front of an adoring crowd
  • Does Ashwin the bowler have the equivalent of 47 Test centuries?
  • Ashwin’s ability to do what he decides to do
  • Ben Foakes’ technique against spin on a turning track
  • Rishabh Pant’s improvement behind the stumps
  • Kohli’s skillful sequence – 74, 72, and 62
  • The Rahane review – and England subsequently being handed back their review
  • The consistently good home umpiring during the Covid months
  • Is Anderson the Karunanidhi of cricket? Or the Tom Brady of cricket?
